Blue Beetle (ब्लू बीटल) is a 2023 American superhero film based on the DC Comics character Jaime Reyes / Blue Beetle. Directed by Ángel Manuel Soto and written by Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer, it is the 14th film in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). The film stars Xolo Maridueña as Reyes, alongside Adriana Barraza, Damián Alcázar, Raoul Max Trujillo, Susan Sarandon, and George Lopez. John Rickard and Zev Foreman produced the film for DC Films and Warner Bros. Pictures.
Blue Beetle premiered in El Paso on August 14, 2023, and was released in the United States and India on August 18. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and became the most-watched film on the streaming service Max (formerly HBO Max) in the United States. Nevertheless, the film underperformed at the box office, grossing $130.8 million worldwide against a production budget of $104–125 million, which made it the lowest-grossing film in the DCEU. Its box office performance was attributed to factors such as the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes, the franchise's imminent reboot with the DC Universe (DCU), and Hurricane Hilary. An animated follow-up series set in the DCU is in development.
